I get that problem all the time. I can't rely on email notifications anymore from this forum. They many times never show up. About logging out to fix the problem: You should receive a notification of a reply even if you are still logged in. That's how it works on any other forum I've dealt with. Maybe there is an forum option for this that an admin could check out?

I have the default address of my domain sent to myself, so if someone sends an email to mnsdlksdf@****, I still get it. That works great. This also means that the email server should never be able to bounce a message back to the sender from my domain (unless my email is full). However, I have a filter that sends emails with subject "bouncetest" (without the quotes) to a script that then sends the email back to the sender as undelieverable. If I send a message to a real account with subject bouncetest, my script works fine and it bounces back like it should. Here is the problem: If I send a message to a nonexisting account with subject bounctest, my script works fine and it bounces like it should. HOWEVER, the message is also actually bounced from the email server. So, I get 2 bounced messages. One from the script and one generated by the email server. This should not happen because of my first sentence of this post. There should still only be one bounce returned to the sender. The server is not trying to delivery this to the nonexisting address anyway. It gets deleted after the script runs without delivery to anyone regardless of whether the user actually exists or not anyway Any ideas? I don't want to use fail or blackhole as the default address. I just want to bounce certain messages. Here is the bounced message from the email server (not my script), however my bounce script does run correctly as well: >This message was created automatically by mail delivery software. A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: pipe to |/home/****/public_html/cgi-bin/bounce.php generated by blabla@*****.com The following text was generated during the delivery attempt: ------ pipe to |/home/****/public_html/cgi-bin/bounce.php generated by blabla@*****.com ------ Content-type: text/html X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.3

I don't get a message real often. If it comes to the default address, I never have to think about checking it, or setting it up in Outlook or anything though.

This is great news! Thank you very much Bill!!!

Maybe since this is the master domain email, it does not go through the filter?

I want to forward all mail sent to: user@server55.totalchoicehosting.com to: email@**** I have setup a filter: header to contains: user@server55.totalchoicehosting.com destination: email@**** That does not work. It still goes to user@server55.totalchoicehosting.com and not to email@****

I've been reading on the official CPanel forums. 2 (bad) things that I noticed: Lots of people are having problems with inbox.pop eating up space. Mail quotas only apply to the inbox file, not mail in any other folders the users may have created.

When I leave mail on the server, it SHOULD empty or delete index.pop, since the messages stay in index. Is there a fix to this? A workaround? This is a bad problem since it counts agains user quota, they are over quota when they see only half that amount in their web email. Not using Outlook's "leave messages on server" is not an option I want to use.

But, the index.pop file does NOT go away IF I have Outlook set to leave messages on the server. I can manually delete the file, and it does not affect any of my messages in webmail because I still have the inbox file, but it comes right back when Outlook connects again (and stays). By the way, thank you Rick and MikeJ for clarifying about the mail/user1/inbox and mail/domain.com/user1/inbox being the same file. So, basically my only problem now is how to get the inbox.pop file deleted automatically when Outlook is set to leave messages on the server. Could this be an Outlook problem? A CPanel problem? The inbox.pop file counts against the user's email quota.

There is a file called index that is 2 MB. When I set Outlook to leave messages on server, it creates a new file called index.pop that is a duplicate of index. If I delete index.pop, my messages are still all on the server, but the file comes back as soon as Outlook does its stuff. This doubles the space used. How do I have the domain email sent to the default address?

My email accounts are working good, but there are some odd things happening "behind the scenes". In my /mail folder, I have the following: /user1 /user2 /user3 /user4 /mail.**** /domain.com inbox /user1 contains a 2MB inbox file --- Inside /domain.com is the following: /user1 /user2 /user3 /user4 /user1 contains inbox (2MB) and inbox.pop (2MB) The problem is that user1 has 2MB of emails, but is using 6MB of disk space! Yes, I can go in and manually delete the extra stuff, but it will just come back. User1 will only have 2MB of emails, but because they are being saved in 3 places, they run out of quota fast - and for no apparant reason to them. This does not necessarily apply to user1 only. It happens to any user. Another problem is that a user actually has 7MB of deleted messages in their deleted folder, but only has a quota of 3MB, and CPanel only shows 1MB used, it is not counting the deleted file, only the inbox! Another thing is that in the root /mail folder, there is a file called inbox. That file contains lots of returned error emails (destination doesn't exist, destination full, etc.) Both sent out from cpanel and received from cpanel. Why are these getting collected here? I am the default address. Those should be coming to me, not just filling up disk space.

Thanks for all the replies! I didn't know QT was so much better than MS and Real. Now, about the mentioning of possible suspension... Could I be suspended without any warning? Would it be just this particular domain, or all of my clients? At what "cpu percent" will I be suspended?

Sometimes, the used disk space shown in CPanel is incorrect. Is there a way to force it to recalculate?

I use TextPad. It's free. A big plus over notepad is that it understands Linux formatted text, where as notepad smashes all the lines together and shows strange boxes. TextPad has downloadable syntax highlighting as well.

I am sorry. I won't do that anymore.

Thanks! That's what I needed to know.

I try to use the forums instead of the helpdesk if I think other people may be interested in the same question, and it is something not specific to my account. But, if I should use the help desk, then that is what I will do.

Am I allowed to run Shoutcast audio server software on the TCH servers? Thanks.

First of all, this is a duplicate post. Sorry, but the other is in the Open Discussion Forum. I posted it on March 31, and it has gotten zero replies, and is moving down... down... down... So, I'm posting it here hoping that someone can help me. This is the link to the original thread: http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/i...wtopic=9001&hl= This is the contents of the original thread: I realize that TCH has no video streaming capabilities outside of html. That is fine. Here are my questions: 1. If I put a 40kbps or 100kbps file on the server, how many people can view it at the same time? 2. I realize this could potentially eat a lot of bandwidth. 3. What is a good streaming-video company that could stream video and live video to many website visitors at the same time? 4. What is the preferred format? WMV, Quicktime, Real, etc? 5. What is the best way to handle dialup users and broadband users? The broadband users will obviously expect a higher quality stream than dialup. And still, there is 128k broadband, 256k, 512k, 768k, 1.5m, etc. 6. What else might I want to know about streaming video and live video? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thank you everybody for the help!

When I choose "Email Notification" for a new topic and press send in this forum I am typing in now, it immediately returns an error. The error is: Mail Error! Could not send the email Failed at 'mail' command

Why do .htaccess files not show up in FTP (FlashFXP)? It looks like directories are empty, but they can not be deleted if there is a hidden .htaccess file in there. I can use cpanel to remove the htaccess and delete directories, but that is not a good solution. -Josh-

Exactly what I needed! Thanks a lot.
